These might not be the best looking cookies but they are nutritious and delicious. People who have tried them compared the flavour and chewy texture with commercial breakfast biscuits available in the UK. They went one step further as they preferred these as they are less sweet and had more crunch. I’m talking about people who grab a breakfast biscuit on their way out. The recipe is very simple as you put everything in the food processor and blend for a few minutes. I used the smallest ice-cream scoop and it made 14 biscuits. I will definitely be making these again but next time I will be adding some Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips. Try them as you might be surprised.
